The last two CB have been to us. I wonder since the coaches know both Wilds and Davis now will be leaving (and possibly Carson), that they take Shaw as a RB and let Turner start there and also try him at Safety. Caban is committing soon and we have a chance at Cole.

Also, if Shaw doesn't work out at RB, they can move him to LB......I think there are a few schools recruiting him as a LB.

Maybe I'm late to the party, but when did Wilds say he is leaving? I doubt Carson leaves. Not a whole lot of current draft value, and the sit-out transfer year makes no sense.

I'd honestly be shocked if Wilds left. I think he's good, but he needs more reps to show his true value.

thinking about the situation he faces from his potential perspective it may be logical for him to leave regardless of how the season goes..

If he has a solid yr, stays relatively healthy etc.... given it is unlikely he would be the stater for the upcomming season then he would certainly not be out of character for the program were he to decide to go pro and take his shot regardless of how high or if he would be drafted.

Were he not to have as solid a yr or simply want to continue playing CF and again knowing it is unlikely he starts here.. he will have graduated and may decide he has a better shot at starting eleswhere. We have seen this play out several times, often to the benifitt of both player and program to which he transferred.

Given his history and the fact that he would have achieved his academic objectives via graduating...Were injuries to completly derail his season he may determine it is no longer in his long term healths interest to continue playing.

Seems lots of potential scenerios are logical for his leaving the program. JMHO WVP

I guess he can change his mind either way, but the final decision will probably be based on how productive he is this year. He's had some injuries the last couple of years so maybe this will be a good, injury free, year for him.

There aren't a lot of RB's taken in the draft each year. If you're going to go early, you really need to be a marquee guy. There's a ton of risk in either (or both) of them declaring early and winding up being an UDFA, or not getting picked up at all.

Every player on a SEC team isn't guaranteed a slot in the NFL, much less all of the other college players out there. There's a limited amount of positions open every year, unless you're a top pick or happen to fall into a perfect situation you're having to beat out an established veteran or hope you can stay as a reserve on a roster that's prohibitively more restricted than a college team.

Whiffed on a ton of DB's class before this last one, totally failed in addressing that need. Hampton left early and christian transferred (both poor decisions). Whiffed on a bunch of DL in that class as well and signed a bunch of nonqualifiers in the last class. Also, the DL we have don't appear to be in shape and well coached; a continuation of the theme from last season, imop. Everyone overrated the linebackers, they we pretty good last season for froshies and got better over the season, but let's be honest, the brinkleys and hell even the lindseys would start and star on this squad in a second.

Missing out on Sawyer and Jhaustin Thomas who are both big DEs hurt us badly. Last night we got absolutely no push or penetration from our d line and it was tough to see. I guess we have been spoiled the past few yard watching good d lines.

Only one game but I agree with you about the coaching. There is a huge difference between Lawing and Adams, and a very obvious one.

I put this somewhere else too but I feel like the defense especially is constantly reacting instead of planning. Last year it was we are out of CBs, the year before it was LBs, this year it will be Dline. I can think of little excuses to have, what 3 or 4 Freshman and a few of which with about 8 or 10 weeks of practice, playing in the defensive backfield.
